Sleigh, Soar & Soak

Sleigh Ride: Spend some time in a winter wonderland on a 40 minute horse drawn sleigh ride through the mountain meadows, close to the Banff townsite. Snuggle up with your family, friends or loved ones and enjoy spectacular views of the valley and surrounding mountains.

Banff Gondola: Experience a 360° view from the upper gondola terminal and get a view of six mountain ranges. Witness breathtaking views in every direction from one of several observation decks. Discover a 1 km interpretive Summit walk to a National Historic site. Explore the world class interpretive and interactive centre with fun games and lots of information on the creation of our beautiful Bow Valley and the surrounding Rocky Mountains. 

Banff Upper Hot Springs: Luxuriate in the comfort of soothing mineral Hot Springs, where travelers have come to "take the waters" for more than a century. The restored 1930's heritage bathhouse is an outdoor mineral spring fed hot pool with views of the famous Mount Rundle. It includes a cooler children's wading area and spacious change rooms with heated floors. Water temperature is kept between 37-40 degrees Celsius or 98-104 Fahrenheit.

In the event there is limited snow, a wagon ride will be substituted for the sleigh ride. The wagon will  ride along the picturesque Cave and Spray Avenue, culminating at the iconic Banff Springs Hotel before returning to the barns. In addition, we are offering a variety of activities at the stables, including barn tours and opportunities for children to take pictures with our ponies or enjoy pony leads.
